Public bug reported: I am still running into the bug reported in Bug #1879968:
"In Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 there was a bug that caused copy and paste operations to fail pretty often: the text that was pasted was not the text that was just copied. See the long discussion at bug #1852183. The bug was recently marked closed, since the package mutter - 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 landed in focal-updates and makes the bug occur much less frequently. "Unfortunately the bug still exists, and is not difficult to reproduce." For me the bug still exists: "Copy" in LibreOffice Writer now fails invariably. Using Ubuntu 20.04, I have four possible ways to log in: 1. Wayland 2. Ubuntu 3. Gnome (vanilla Gnome session, using Wayland) 4. Gnome on Xorg The bug occurs in all four. The bug occurs whether I use CTRL-C or use "Edit --> Copy" from the LibreOffice menu. ("Paste," by the way, is not a problem. I can paste whatever is in the clipboard. The problem lies with "Copy.") I am not able to say whether the fault lies with Mutter, with LibreOffice, with both, or with something else. ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1944576 Title: Copy/paste still fails in LibreOffice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1944576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
